Read the following paragraph from the article.

Sorkin wrote that he felt that Lee's novel had not shown Calpurnia or Robinson's reactions to the racial injustice around them: "Tom begs for his life, and Cal bakes crackling bread. It's the kind of thing that would have gone unnoticed in 1960, but in 2018, using black characters only as atmosphere is as noticeable as it is wrong. Also, in this instance, a wasted opportunity."

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the paragraph above?

A
Sorkin held much contempt for the way Lee's novel portrayed Calpurnia and Tom Robinson.
B
Sorkin viewed the rewriting of the Tom and Calpurnia characters as an opportunity to right a wrong.
C
Sorkin believes that the characters Calpurnia and Tom Robinson went unnoticed in Lee's novel.
D
Sorkin hopes that rewriting the Tom and Calpurnia characters will bring about more racial justice.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
